Hey everyone, I've been reading about all these credential leaks from agents and got worried about my own projects. I know we should monitor for suspicious data leaving the system, but all the eBPF stuff sounds super advanced.

Can someone walk through, like, the absolute simplest way to get started? I'm imagining:

- What tool do I actually install? (BCC? bpftrace?)
- A basic example rule to flag something that looks like an API key being sent out in a network packet.
- Where do I even see the alerts?

I'm not looking for a perfect production setup, just a beginner's experiment to understand the flow. Is this even the right tool for catching credentials in agent tool outputs before they hit the network? 🤔

Thanks!
Maya
